Abstract
Targeted temperature management (TTM) has been proposed to reduce mortality and improve neurological outcomes in postcardiac arrest and other critically ill patients. TTM implementation may vary considerably among hospitals, and "high-quality TTM" definitions are inconsistent. This systematic literature review in relevant critical care conditions evaluated the approaches to and definitions of TTM quality with respect to fever prevention and the maintenance of precise temperature control. Current evidence on the quality of fever management associated with TTM in cardiac arrest, traumatic brain injury, stroke, sepsis, and critical care more generally was examined. Searches were conducted in Embase and PubMed (2016 to 2021) following PRISMA guidelines. In total, 37 studies were identified and included, with 35 focusing on postarrest care. Frequently-reported TTM quality outcomes included the number of patients with rebound hyperthermia, deviation from target temperature, post-TTM body temperatures, and number of patients achieving target temperature. Surface and intravascular cooling were used in 13 studies, while one study used surface and extracorporeal cooling and one study used surface cooling and antipyretics. Surface and intravascular methods had comparable rates of achieving target temperature and maintaining temperature. A single study showed that patients with surface cooling had a lower incidence of rebound hyperthermia. This systematic literature review largely identified cardiac arrest literature demonstrating fever prevention with multiple TTM approaches. There was substantial heterogeneity in the definitions and delivery of quality TTM. Further research is required to define quality TTM across multiple elements, including achieving target temperature, maintaining target temperature, and preventing rebound hyperthermia.

Diagnostic Value of Serum Lactate Dehydrogenase Level Measured in the Emergency Department in Predicting Clinical Outcome in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Multicenter, Observational Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12083006. [PMID: 37109341 PMCID: PMC10146741 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12083006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is complex, and risk stratification tools have the potential to include components other than clinical risk indicators, thus requiring extensive studies. Simple and accurate biomarkers for OHCA patients with poor prognoses are still needed. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has been identified as a risk factor in patients with various diseases, such as cancer, liver disease, severe infections, and sepsis. The primary aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of LDH values at initial presentation in the emergency department (ED) in predicting the clinical outcome in OHCA. METHODS This retrospective multicenter observational study was performed in the ED of two tertiary university hospitals and one general hospital between January 2015 and December 2021. All patients with OHCA who visited the ED were included. The primary outcome was the sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC; >20 min) after advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). The secondary outcome was survival to discharge (including home care and nursing care discharge) among patients with ROSC. The neurological prognosis was considered a tertiary outcome in patients who survived to discharge. RESULTS In total, 759 patients were enrolled in the final analysis. The median LDH level in the ROSC group was 448 U/L (range: 112-4500), which was significantly lower than that in the no-ROSC group (p < 0.001). The median LDH level in the survival-to-discharge group was 376 U/L (range: 171-1620), which was significantly lower than that in the death group (p < 0.001). Using the adjusted model, the odds ratio of the LDH value (≤634 U/L) for primary outcomes was 2.418 (1.665-3.513) and the odds ratio of LDH value (≤553 U/L) for secondary outcomes was 4.961 (2.184-11.269). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the serum LDH levels of patients with OHCA measured in the ED can potentially serve as a predictive marker for clinical outcomes such as ROSC and survival to discharge, although it may be difficult to predict neurological outcomes.

TIMECARD score: An easily operated prediction model of unfavorable neurological outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients with targeted temperature management. J Formos Med Assoc 2023; 122:317-327. [PMID: 36470683 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2022.11.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeted temperature management (TTM) is recommended for comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors. Several prediction models have been proposed; however, most of these tools require data conversion and complex calculations. Early and easy predictive model of neurological prognosis in OHCA survivors with TTM warrant investigation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicenter retrospective cohort study enrolled 408 non-traumatic adult OHCA survivors with TTM from the TaIwan network of targeted temperature ManagEment for CARDiac arrest (TIMECARD) registry during January 2014 to June 2019. The primary outcome was unfavorable neurological outcome at discharge. The clinical variables associated with unfavorable neurological outcomes were identified and a risk prediction score-TIMECARD score was developed. The model was validated with data from National Taiwan University Hospital. RESULTS There were 319 (78.2%) patients presented unfavorable neurological outcomes at hospital discharge. Eight independent variables, including malignancy, no bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), non-shockable rhythm, call-to-start CPR duration >5 min, CPR duration >20 min, sodium bicarbonate use during resuscitation, Glasgow Coma Scale motor score of 1 at return of spontaneous circulation, and no emergent coronary angiography, revealed a significant correlation with unfavorable neurological prognosis in TTM-treated OHCA survivors. The TIMECARD score was established and demonstrated good discriminatory performance in the development cohort (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.855) and validation cohorts (AUC = 0.918 and 0.877, respectively). CONCLUSION In emergency settings, the TIMECARD score is a practical and simple-to-calculate tool for predicting neurological prognosis in OHCA survivors, and may help determine whether to initiate TTM in indicated patients.

Post-resuscitation diastolic blood pressure is a prognostic factor for outcomes of cardiac arrest patients: a multicenter retrospective registry-based analysis. J Intensive Care 2022; 10:39. [PMID: 35933429 PMCID: PMC9356498 DOI: 10.1186/s40560-022-00631-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Post-resuscitation hemodynamic level is associated with outcomes. This study was conducted to investigate if post-resuscitation diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is a favorable prognostic factor. Methods Using TaIwan Network of Targeted Temperature ManagEment for CARDiac Arrest (TIMECARD) registry, we recruited adult patients who received targeted temperature management in nine medical centers between January 2014 and September 2019. After excluding patients with extracorporeal circulation support, 448 patients were analyzed. The first measured, single-point blood pressure after resuscitation was used for analysis. Study endpoints were survival to discharge and discharge with favorable neurologic outcomes (CPC 1–2). Multivariate analysis, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and generalized additive model (GAM) were used for analysis. Results Among the 448 patients, 182 (40.7%) patients survived, and 89 (19.9%) patients had CPC 1–2. In the multivariate analysis, DBP > 70 mmHg was an independent factor for survival (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.16, 95% confidence interval [CI, 1.41–3.31]) and > 80 mmHg was an independent factor for CPC 1–2 (aOR 2.04, 95% CI [1.14–3.66]). GAM confirmed that DBP > 80 mmHg was associated with a higher likelihood of CPC 1–2. In the exploratory analysis, patients with DBP > 80 mmHg had a significantly higher prevalence of cardiogenic cardiac arrest (p = 0.015) and initial shockable rhythm (p = 0.045). Conclusion We found that DBP after resuscitation can predict outcomes, as a higher DBP level correlated with cardiogenic cardiac arrest.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We assessed the association between total center volume, operator volume, and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) volume. BACKGROUND Variations between OHCA PCI volume, hospital total PCI, and primary PCI volume are not well studied and are unlikely to be clinically justifiable. METHODS Patients undergoing PCI for the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) between January 1, 2014, and March 31, 2019, in England and Wales were grouped as OHCA PCI and non-OHCA PCI. Spearman's correlation was used to determine the degree of correlation between each hospital PCI volume and OHCA PCI volume. RESULTS Out of 250,088 PCI procedures undertaken for ACS, 12,016 (4.8%) were performed for OHCA, and 238,072 (95.2%) were non-OHCA PCI procedures. The OHCA PCI group were younger [mean age (SD) 63.2 (12.3) and 65.6 (12.5, p < 0.001)], less likely to be female (20.2% vs. 26.9%, p < 0.001) or Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnicity (11.5% vs. 14.8%, p < 0.001) compared to the non-OHCA PCI group. Although there was a degree of correlation between total PCI and OHCA PCI, there was wide variation for both ACS cohort (Spearman correlation R2 = 0.50) and total PCI volume (Spearman correlation R2 = 0.60). Furthermore, the correlation between primary PCI volume and OHCA PCI within centers was weak (R2 = 0.10). Similarly, wide variations between operator PCI volume and OHCA PCI volume were observed. CONCLUSION These national data demonstrate wide variation in the practice of OHCA PCI both between centers and individuals. These variations are not expected according to clinical factors and require further investigation.

Artificial neural network-boosted Cardiac Arrest Survival Post-Resuscitation In-hospital (CASPRI) score accurately predicts outcome in cardiac arrest patients treated with targeted temperature management. Sci Rep 2022; 12:7254.

Abstract
Existing prognostic models to predict the neurological recovery in patients with cardiac arrest receiving targeted temperature management (TTM) either exhibit moderate accuracy or are too complicated for clinical application. This necessitates the development of a simple and generalizable prediction model to inform clinical decision-making for patients receiving TTM. The present study explores the predictive validity of the Cardiac Arrest Survival Post-resuscitation In-hospital (CASPRI) score in cardiac arrest patients receiving TTM, regardless of cardiac event location, and uses artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms to boost the prediction performance. This retrospective observational study evaluated the prognostic relevance of the CASPRI score and applied ANN to develop outcome prediction models in a cohort of 570 patients with cardiac arrest and treated with TTM between 2014 and 2019 in a nationwide multicenter registry in Taiwan. In univariate logistic regression analysis, the CASPRI score was significantly associated with neurological outcome, with the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) of 0.811. The generated ANN model, based on 10 items of the CASPRI score, achieved a training AUC of 0.976 and validation AUC of 0.921, with the accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity of 89.2%, 91.6%, 87.6%, and 91.2%, respectively, for the validation set. CASPRI score has prognostic relevance in patients who received TTM after cardiac arrest. The generated ANN-boosted, CASPRI-based model exhibited good performance for predicting TTM neurological outcome, thus, we propose its clinical application to improve outcome prediction, facilitate decision-making, and formulate individualized therapeutic plans for patients receiving TTM.

[PMID: 35492359 PMCID: PMC9043113 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.779781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2021] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose Targeted temperature management (TTM) is associated with decreased mortality and improved neurological function after cardiac arrest. Additionally, studies have shown that bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (BCPR) doubled the survival of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) compared to patients who received no BPCR (no-BCPR). However, the outcome benefits of BCPR on patients who received TTM are not fully understood. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the outcome differences between BCPR and no-BCPR in patients who received TTM after cardiac arrest. Methods The Taiwan Network of Targeted Temperature Management for Cardiac Arrest (TIMECARD) multicenter registry established a study cohort and a database for patients receiving TTM between January 2013 and September 2019. A total of 580 patients were enrolled and divided into 376 and 204 patients in the BCPR and no-BCPR groups, respectively. Results Compared to the no-BCPR group, the BCPR group had a better hospital discharge and survival rate (42.25 vs. 31.86%, P = 0.0305). The BCPR group also had a better neurological outcome at hospital discharge. It had a higher average GCS score (11.3 vs. 8.31, P < 0.0001) and a lower average Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance category (CPC) scale score (2.14 vs. 2.98, P < 0.0001). After undertaking a multiple logistic regression analysis, it was found that BCPR was a significant positive predictor for in-hospital survival (OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.45-0.97, P = 0.0363). Conclusions This study demonstrated that BCPR had a positive survival and neurological impact on the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients receiving TTM after cardiac arrest.

[PMID: 35268537 PMCID: PMC8911115 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11051448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In pre-hospital settings, efficient cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is challenging; therefore, the application of mechanical CPR devices continues to increase. However, the evidence of the benefits of using mechanical CPR devices in pre-hospital settings for adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is controversial. This meta-analysis compared the effects of mechanical and manual CPR applied in the pre-hospital stage on clinical outcomes after OHCA. Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception until October 2021. Studies comparing mechanical and manual CPR applied in the pre-hospital stage for survival outcomes of adult OHCA were eligible. Data abstraction, quality assessment, meta-analysis, trial sequential analysis (TSA), and grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation were conducted. Seven randomized controlled and 15 observational studies were included. Compared to manual CPR, pre-hospital use of mechanical CPR showed a positive effect in achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to admission. No difference was found in survival to discharge and discharge with favorable neurological status, with inconclusive results in TSA. In conclusion, pre-hospital use of mechanical CPR devices may benefit adult OHCA in achieving ROSC and survival to admission. With low certainty of evidence, more well-designed large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these findings.

The Differences of CPR Duration Between Shockable and Non-shockable Rhythms in Predicting The Benefit of Target Temperature Management. Shock 2022; 57:652-658.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among cardiac arrest (CA) survivors, whether the combination of duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and shockable/nonshockable rhythms during resuscitation can help predict the benefit of targeted temperature management (TTM) remains un-investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicenter retrospective cohort study enrolled 479 nontraumatic adult CA survivors with TTM and CPR duration <60 min during January 2014 to June 2019 from the TaIwan network of targeted temperature ManagEment for CARDiac arrest (TIMECARD) registry. The differences of CPR duration between shockable and nonshockable rhythms in predicting outcomes in the studied population was evaluated. RESULTS We observed that 205 patients (42.8%) survived to hospital discharge and 100 patients (20.9%) presented favorable neurological outcomes at discharge. The enrolled patients were further re-classified into four groups according to shockable/nonshockable rhythms and CPR duration. Patients with shockable rhythms and shorter CPR duration had better survival-to-discharge (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 2.729, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.384-5.383, P = 0.004) and neurological recovery (adjusted OR = 9.029, 95%CI = 3.263-24.983, P < 0.001) than did those with nonshockable rhythms and longer CPR duration. CONCLUSION The CPR duration for predicting outcomes differs between CA patients with shockable and nonshockable rhythms. The combination of shockable/nonshockable rhythms and CPR duration may help predict the prognosis in CA survivors undergoing TTM.
